Our mission

We are the innovation unit for public services. As a not-for-profit social enterprise we're committed to using the power of innovation to solve social challenges. We have a strong track record of supporting leaders and organisations delivering public services to see and do things differently. They come to us with a problem and we empower them to achieve radically different solutions that offer better outcomes for lower costs.

We have radical ambitions. Many organisations help public services to improve incrementally; and many organisations work on a small scale to make a local difference. However, our ambitions are greater than this. We aim to support radical innovation in public services and we aim to achieve change on a large scale, by creating better system conditions for innovation.

As we are a not-for-profit social enterprise, we care about improving things for everyone so we use what we know to influence public debate, re-shape public policy and share what we know about transforming public services, leading to improvements that everyone can learn from.
